Hello your drawings are stunning can u plzz tell me that what r ur intrests in art ? Mine are coloring and do u do gestures before the drawing?
Hello, sorry for kept you waiting, I was busy recovering from my art month. Thank you for the questions and nice words! My main interest in art is to create something special, outstanding that can tear apart the pattern, at least mine. Also I am very sensitive to the colours selection and do spend really a lot of time polishing the right balance. I’ve never done any kind of gestures (I’m not even sure I know what are those xD).
‼️For all‼️
Thanks for being with me this month, your attention and support helped me a lot. During this time I understood a lot of things about drawing (and about myself too), grown as an artist and have changed a lot in general. Bunch of ideas popped in my head and I can’t wait. So I rate this experience as extremely positive. I am always glad for your reactions and comments, so keep going!😊
📌Also I have a question for everyone! I find it very satisfying to draw and share art everyday, but the works seem to be less accurate and powerful. So do you want it rarely but precisely or evenly?
I can't decide on a favorite, I love the Vulgate circle, it has so much violence that it's almost comical, but I also love Diu Crone and the latin circles too. I simply can't decide which one is my favorite among all the circles.
I don't want to and I won't choose. They are all my favorites 😌
Didn't mean to summon you but HI
Sup, all goods needed to get out of my void anyway👌
I think it's because that all his other characteristics (see below) make up for it, you could show me an image from any phase and I could say "hey, that's murdoc" without even thinking about the smaller details.
these are the only thing's consistent within murdocs design:
crooked nose
goofy beatles haircut
rancid manwhore energy
always some shade of green*
emo /j
everything else you can freeball i suppose
*Phase one is an exception due to his more tan complexion, everything else still applies
how does Murdoc not have the same face in basically any 2 phases (even varies inside phases) and he still manages to Look Like Murdoc
anon do i have news for you
The only thing I saw so far is the theme song and I hope the rest of the show is just as happy as it is

I want your take on this because I think it would improve the taste but also be deeply unethical
Pa said if drowned them, they wouldn’t taste good and introduce toxins and wouldn’t be good to eat. HOWEVER if you force fed them a diet of maple syrup until they died, then they’d taste good…
I can’t believe I typed all of that lol

nicegoth reblogged your photoset "Nocturnal/Diurnal - Unfired" and added:
this is so neat
Thank you so much! (◕‿◕✿) And that reminds me - I've had these back from the kiln awhile now. It's time I properly photographed them fired, isn't it? In the meantime, here's a quick preview snap:

wow this is so cool
Thank you! Would you believe that this is the first bit of feedback I've ever gotten on any of my scrapbook pieces? (I'll bet you would, actually.)
But honestly, it means more to me to receive it than I can say. So much of my work, and especially this series in particular, is (sometimes literally) built on what has personal significance to me, and so little has ever been said about any of it besides what can be implied by the occasional like, reblog, or follow that I haven't been able to help wondering if the appeal really went beyond myself. Not that I'm saying that I'm not delighted with every note and follower I do get! Quite the contrary - but this is something I've been missing, and I very much appreciate it. And while I'm at it... followers, passersby, everyone; hello! If any of you at anytime have questions for me, or anything of the like, please, don't be shy.

Way to disembowel my dreams, James!
It’s what I do best! (Maybe.)
Any of the three options would serve for me, personally: the replay retcon, a "choose your own" timeline, or just kinda understanding the real-world reasons behind the whole thing on a meta-level outside of the narrative. All of those work. And honestly, the second option (leaving it to the reader to mentally redistribute the story episodes across whatever constitutes a more believable expanse of time for them) has been my way of keeping the sequence of events and the flow of time in line with the tone of the rest of the thing all along. You know what I mean? Damn near everything else about the world depicted in Simra's journal feels so credible, despite the fantastical setting, that the idea of, say, getting from hold to hold in a matter of a few days or nights stood out in all the wrong ways.
Not that I'm criticizing! *nervous shuffling*
Anyway, as for early volume headcanons, how about this one:
Simra's first journal was canonically lost, along with his father's sword, when he was captured and stripped of all his possessions by the Stormcloak patrol that took him at the Dunmeth pass. If Simra really has been purposefully writing for an audience all this time, and his writings are, at least in part, a calculated bid for posthumous control of his legacy and the chance to eulogize himself... then I imagine he'd regard the loss as a great one. Given how uncomfortable he is with anything that threatens his agency, even symbolically, my bet is that he'd move to retake his position as arbiter of his own legend as soon as possible. After all, the absence of that journal would leave a significant void in the story at a pivotal juncture—the beginning, his beginning—and I doubt he'd be content to allow anyone else to fill it. Regardless of whether the gap was bridged with truth, lies, or conjectures, they wouldn't be his.
So he'd rewrite it. And that could account for both the comparatively grand, mythologizing style of and the dating inconsistencies in the journal we've come to know as the first. Even ordinary people have a tendency to dramatize their lives in the retelling of them, let alone the re-retelling, agendas notwithstanding. Distance from the times in question could conceivably muddle his recollection of the exact dates involved as well. Either that, or it's obfuscation—all caught up with Simra's own peculiar blend of vanity and self-deprecation.
That's it! That's my theory.

carletoncolton replied to your post “OOC: Timeframe”
Well … it seems like something to ret-con to me. I’d work on changing the dates; the other explanations for the inconsistencies feel a little forced. Really, why would Simra...

1. You have rather cool handwriting. 2. OH MY GOD COFFEE WITH CONDENSED MILK *gross sobbing into his tea*
Thank you, thank you. ❤ It's given me a bit of trouble here and there throughout my school years, but I'm fond of it all the same. *stirs sweetened condensed milk into her coffee* *winks conspiratorially*
Anyway! Your handwriting is quite the thing too, you know. I can't say I've seen anything like it, in fact, which got me thinking... Awhile back, SouperJesus and I fell for handwritten fonts and gave making our own a go at http://www.myscriptfont.com/. Mine was a bust (couldn't wrangle my ascenders and descenders into frame), but Soup's went off without a hitch. I still use it whenever I need to cover up the more sensitive bits of my scrapbook pages and such.
I'm betting yours would really be something, though. It just takes printing off their template, writing in your letters, numbers, and punctuation marks, scanning and uploading it, and you're the proud originator of a vector font file. Consider it?
Thank you for answering this so thoroughly! Your response was fascinating. Little Simra poring over charcoal glyphs scratched over the hearth is one of my favorite bits of imagery so far. But most of all I relished the chance to learn more about Simra’s mother. As with Soraya, her presence is felt more immediately through her impact on Simra and his father than through the rare glimpses we get of who she was otherwise - for me, the effect is reminiscent of the feeling you get craning your neck to see something through a barred window or the slats of a fence. What details you do manage to pick out are all the more vivid for the strain of searching. For instance, I remember returning again and again in my mind for days after I’d read it to the image of a soft leather jacket left behind with Verru (unfinished?) after her death, that she’d intended as a wedding gift for Soraya.
I have to confess, though, about an hour after I sent my question off I suddenly remembered that I already knew that Simra’s parents were literate - he writes them both at least once, doesn’t he? And the letters for his father are couched in a rather touchingly careful Dunmeris, even. So I felt like a huge dork all morning. (⌒_⌒;) Guess I should have slept on it instead of rolling out of bed in the middle of the night to ask, huh?
If I remember correctly, most Ashlanders are illiterate, forgoing a written tradition in favor of an oral one. Assuming that Simra's parents follow convention in this, then how did Simra come by his letters? And what does Simra's mother in particular, as a former wisewoman-in-training, think of his unorthodox affinity for the written word?
[This is a very good question. Mostly because it does something my favourite questions do. It asks something for which I don’t already have an answer. But it asks something that needed to be asked. It’s something useful to me. So already, thanks for that.Simra’s parents were travellers of Ashlander extraction. They didn’t spend all their time with the Zainab. So yes, while they were raised within and each participated within an oral tradition - particularly on the part of Ishar, his mother - they were literate to one degree or another.It was actually Ishar, rather than Simra’s father, who was the better linguist, reader, and writer. His father never learnt more than a few things outside of Dunmeris. Her background gave her more of a respect for knowledge, however the knowers store it and keep it known, orally or literarily.Bringing up her children in Skyrim, it was she that educated them in mixed Tamrielic and Dunmeris: reading, writing, arithmetic, bits and pieces of history, theology. She would not have her children go without the skills that they’d need to live as something other than Ashlanders.Admittedly, young Simra paid more attention than Soraya. This learning did not come from reading, however, but through listening. Even Simra’s literacy comes from watching his mother scratch letters and words in charcoal above their fireplace. And the oral nature of these lessons is perhaps part of the reason Simra has such a good verbal memory.In short, Simra’s no Zainab. He’s Dunmer, and part of Morrowind’s diaspora. He’s of Zainab blood, raised by parents who were raised Zainab. He himself admits that he’s a Dunmer of Skyrim, however — inheritor of some Ashlander traditions, but barred off from others, and proud of both.So he’s an unorthodox Dunmer in one sense. But he was raised by an unorthodox womer, after all — why d’you think she didn’t ever become a full-fledged wisewoman? For the most part it was Ishar who refused to acclimatise to this new place and new culture, his heart living with his wife and children, but belonging back in the Grazelands.]

I challenge your ability to eat more than me. In the best possible way. If ever you're in London, I'm taking you on a review, and we are pigging out to an unspeakable degree. (If that sounds agreeable.)
Challenge accepted. *slaps glow-in-the-dark fingerless skeleton gloves onto the table* (What? They were on sale.) And nothing could sound more agreeable, thank you! If I ever do get up to London, looks like one of us will be eating our words that day - among other things.
YOU! ONCE YOU GET THIS, YOU HAVE TO SAY FIVE NICE THINGS ABOUT YOURSELF AND SEND IT TO TEN OF YOUR FAVOURITE FOLLOWERS
So, needlesslycryptic and sunderlorn both dropped this one in my inbox—I’m in the polarizing position of being both unspeakably (DOES THIS MEAN THAT I’M A *FAVORITE*?!) flattered and put out that now I’ve got to run my truant self-regard to ground and put it to work. Thank you both. <3
1. At any paid job, I’m uncommonly diligent. I arrive at the timeclock every day just in time to absently stare through it for two minutes, swipe my card with more force than is strictly necessary, and then I’m in. I work singlemindedly every second of my shift, with efficiency, speed, and focus as my watchwords. When I walk I keep my eyes forward, hands clasped behind my back, and never stop to socialize or chatter. When customers or coworkers come to confer with me or ask a question, I don’t stop working to answer. I do both at once. So, um… I’m not well-liked, but my results are. Hooray?
2. I never gossip, spill secrets, or kiss and tell.
3. If you and I ever eat together, I’ll always eat more—so, your powers of restraint will look greater by comparison.
4. The way I ramble in writing you’d probably never guess this, but I have a talent for silence. Like, I can honestly go weeks without saying a word. Comfortably.
5. I’m… not too shabby a gifter, if I do say so myself. In all seriousness, I tend to devote weeks or months before a holiday to obsessively trawling through my memories for every tiny instance in which my prospective giftee has expressed even the most offhand desire, going years back if necessary, until I light on the thing. And I live my life listening for those moments, mentally tucking them away to be brought out again as needed. It’s worth it to me, too—every time my mother, for example, finally breaks through my very deliberately selected giftwrap and tears up when she sees what’s inside, my skull just echoes with vindicated maniacal mental laughter.
Not to be horrible or anything, but since dogs are considered animals of lesser intelligence , i think they probably would still be around for ... food. Since ‘resources’ are low, i’d assume he wouldn’t get rid of beings that serve purpose. I wouldn’t want to eat dogs though, i’d rather just drift off
ok so since the Russo brothers confirmed that animals and plants and the like all died in the snap,,,,,,, that means dogs died too,,,,, and lemme tell ya if ANYTHING happened to my dog earth wouldn’t even NEED the avengers I’d mcfucking d e s t r o y thanos myself because NO ONE FUCKING MESSES WITH MY DOG NOT EVEN A CRUSTY ASS RAISIN WITH A ROCK COLLECTION
Hello! I just saw your post about the conference. I know it's very niche, but I'd love to hear / read more about your sangaku presentation. I actually went back to Konnō Hachiman-gū this afternoon, hoping to see more examples, but no such luck. (I cannot decipher them, of course, but I taught English at a faculty of engineering, and my students could. Sometimes. )
I'll put together something about the shrine, but どうぞお先に。Nudge nudge hint hint.
Hi, thanks for the message!
The presentation was in two main parts: first the historical context of the Edo period and function of sangaku in developing mathematics during that time, and second a closer look at Kashihara Miminashi Yamaguchi-jinja's example with a modern solution. I can't read the sangaku in full, but I have been able to pick out the parts with numbers and compare some of their results with the formulas.
I can probably put together a mini-series at some point. Which parts would you want to hear more about? (That's a general question btw: anyone can reply and add the conversation of course.)
